Although not directly created for educational purposes, social media has attracted the attention of educators, especially in the field of English language learning. Several studies have concluded that social media can be used as a medium in English classes. However, to use social media effectively, it is important to know the influence and effects of social media on students as a reference. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore and determine the effects of social media on Indonesian high school students, the use of social media for English language learning. A total of 30 students from one of the High Schools in North Kolaka were involved in this study.
